gardens underground (and repeated takes)

gardens underground

to avoid the heat. a good idea horsemouth thought earlier in the day (but now it is cooling off and horsemouth is actually wearing a shirt). 

... and it's about 9.20 and it's no longer full daylight. 

today (as will be) 25/26C. cloud as well. sunday cooler still and clouding over. and then over the next two weeks a gradual building back up. 

repeated takes

horsemouth was just reading michael chanan's book on recording repeated takes as part of his attali research project. on chanan's website is a podcast of chanan interviewed by esther leslie. 

of course once music can be recorded it changes utterly (and there's no going back). 

at various points in the day horsemouth sat reading in the shade of the house near the wall his father built round the back of the house to hold off the banking above (that's what made him think of underground gardens). 

ok horsemouth needs to get some food for the chickens. which means getting a lift to the forge. it may be cooler than it was but it is still hot. ok he can delay it a day or two if needs be - he's just remembered his mum's secret stash of corn.
